Well, Tues night I went to leave work about 11:30pm and truck didnt start. Father-in-law stopped and proved what i thought was wrong.. NO FUEL getting to the throttle body.. tank was full.. too late, too dark, and no tools.. leave truck at work and head home..

Wed.. head into town to take kiddo to school.. had to borrow mother-in-laws car, as my truck is still up on blocks awaiting front end.. get to the truck about 9:30.. after, trying to figure out how to get to it, i decide to try and only drop the tank alittle and then raise the bed so i can get up there and work on it.. no problem.. get the tank dropped.. start on bed.. the hold in the bed for the last bolt is stripped, and not even vice grips will hold the head. Wife gets lunch on her way back from getting daughter from school... They gve me the wrong sandwich, take it back get it fixed.. back to the truck.. i get to the point where i cant do anything without help and more tools... put in a request to my father in law to bring another jack, dremel, and extension cords.. as my truck was in the middle of the parking lot and i had to get power from my store.. had about an hour to spare so we sit and relax.. while talking, wife asked about the dual tanks.. then it hits me... my daughter played with the dual tank switch and the pass. tank doesnt work..

flip the switch and truck came to life... SON OF A!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so i start putting truck back together as father in law shows up.. said we were going have to rebuild extension cords if we needed them as mice had gotten to them.. would have fit right in the with rest of my day.. soo i wasted a GREAT day as it was 94* outside, and it was my day off.. spent 6hrs working on the truck to find out it was a switch... I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN TO LOOK THERE!!!..

Wife and I tried to call in to work as we work at a nursery on wed nights.. said they really needed us.. ends up wasnt a busy as they thought so we finally got to go home.. needless to say i feel stupid and i slept good that night...
